Who Is Mike Jones?

He's the dude I'm sorta sick of hearing about. Between the constant late-nite Jamster spots and Monday night's MTV takeover, Stereogum's TV's been all screw'd lately. For those of us who don't guzzle syrup while refreshing Houston So Real, Kelefa Sanneh's article is a useful cheat sheet.

Of course if you read Catchdubs you already know your Big Moe from your Lil' Flip. And you definitely want to order Oh Snap. It's brilliant and I'm not just saying that 'cause Nick promised me a free copy at the dry cleaners Tuesday morning. (Yes, bloggers meet up at the dry cleaners -- Jennifer 8. Lee exposé TK.)

If you have no idea what the fuck this post is about, don't worry -- I don't either. It's the obligatory rap update to score points with Ray LaMontagne haters.

New Kanye anyone?

UPDATE: I almost forgot!

awwwww HELL no!
i was hoping that their quick jump to mtv culture would keep the hipsters away from mike jones et al. sigh. hopefully the southern ghetto nature of their game will keep the horn rims far, far away. i still shudder when i remember those self-righteous dorks all jumping on the neptunes bandwagon a couple of years ago.

stick to the backpack rap and leave the rough stuff to us hood rats. for once, I get to call 'poser' - poser!

Mike Jones is the cutest dude ever. He reluctant beef with Chamillionaire was very awesome, and Jones killed it when he called out Chamillionaire for working at Babies'R'Us.

i love the line, "blowin on the endo/gamecube nintendo". The thought of gangstas sittin back with some fowties and playing Mario Sunshine is really appealing for some reason.

I had no idea the lead singer of Jesus Jones had gotten into the Houston hip-hop scene. Where are they now? is right. Thanks for the update.

my friend managed a cd warehouse a few years ago and had to stock alot of undergroup hip hop, esp. the chopped and screwed crap coming out of houston and dallas. ugh. awful! he played me a mike jones bootleg record that was all tracks from songs out then (i remember that truth hurts track was on there, the one that got her album recalled for copyright infringement) and him saying "im mike jones" over the first two minutes of it. only it was all played at 1/2 speed.

this is much, MUCH better: hipsters getting all indignant about mike mother-effing jones. HA! as for 'mike jonze,' glad to hear that you hate it- i was getting worried there for a minute. and for lil blogger, what do you know about the movements of true hood rats? don't you know we've always been at the forefront of technology? some of us are assigned to monitor these geeky sites to see what y'all are trippin off of. so like we say down here in the hood, 'the streets are watching.'

You guys are all pathetic. I did a search for Mike Jones...Just to see more of him. First off...The morally bankrupt moron who says he's a 'hoodrat', I got news for ya pal. You put up a decent arguement, but you are a jackass. Where is YOUR CD? Is it on the top of the charts? Is it always being played on MTV2? I didn't think so. When you make your Platnium albulm, then you can say something. And the rest of you...Can hardly spell. Jesus Christ...I'm 13 and you dumb motherfuckers lost everything to crack and syuff, huh? Nice.

Dude Mike, I love your comment, almost laughed my ass off.
For all you 13 year olds, this tells everyone how easily influenced by mtv, and oversaturation of advertising you are. You little fucks know nothing about rap, maybe do a little research, listen to some real rappers, and maybe you will think differently about this retarded fat nager. And oh yea
Mike Jones should serously fix his retarded ass teeth, motherfucker look like he just bought the xxL grill, too big for his fuckin head. This dude is so pathetic he makes up shit that makes no sense.

Chamillionaire is the best rapper in the country. He's better than Dike Jones and definately better than all the weak New York/West Coast rapppers. Chamillionaire is the best freestyle artist out there.

This is to all the bitch ass mutha-fukas that think that Mike Jones is better that Chamillionaire . Mike Jone can not compete with Chamillionaire on one of his bad days. The color changin' lizard is the best rapper to come about yet and I do not think that anyone can take that away from him. I've been listeninig to him for 3 years and haven't stopped since. Now if anyone wants to diagree with me just e-mail me at Locsta_for_tha_06@yahoo.com
